Check, pls, if I understand this correctly
Die Figur des Mr X ist meiner Ansicht nach, etwas zu überzogen und einseitig dargestellt. Does it mean - To my mind there is no need to talk much about Mr X, it is just enough to show one side of him? smthing like this...
Thank you.

For me it seems to be a discussion between two persons. They are talking about Mr. X, who is an actor or a character in a book. The sentence says that Mr. X is a bit (etwas) too overdrawn/overstated (überzogen/übertrieben) shown by the producer/author. In my opinion the word "überzogen" is used just to emphasize the one-sided view on Mr.X. This means that Mr. X could reveal the same message to the audience by simply say the same but in another/less exaggerated way.
There is nothing said about the amount of discussion or the need to talk about Mr X.

überzogen dargestellt = übertrieben dargestellt
Beispiel:
Ein Charakter in einem Film/Buch wird als übertrieben böse dargestellt.
Dass er womöglich auch gute Charaktereigenschaften hat, wird nicht erwähnt. (= einseitige Darstellung als 'böse')

I think this is a wax figure, so...
In my view the Mr X figure is overdressed and too one-sided.
